Simone Biles was among the notable guests who attended Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s July 3 wedding at Madison Square Garden, officiated by comedian Adam Sandler. However, the 11-time Olympic medalist faced questions from critics about her place on the guest list. Biles has now responded to the criticism over her invitation.
Simone Biles appears to resent fans asking why she was invited to Taylor Swift’s wedding
Biles, considered one of the greatest gymnasts in history, attended the star-studded wedding with her husband, Jonathan Owens, and shared photos of her glamorous wedding look on Instagram on July 6. Giving fans a glimpse of the celebration via a carousel of photos, Biles captioned the post, “The perfect love story, followed by the perfect nighTT.”
While the photos received positive reactions, one commenter questioned Biles’ invitation, asking, “When have Simone Biles and Taylor Swift even spoken to each other?” In response, Biles wrote, as quoted by Us Weekly, ” Remember this, I only show y’all what I want y’all to know.”
Many fans also came to her defense in the comments section. One responded, “At award shows, the after-parties, charitable events, football games (their hubbies are in the NFL, you know that, right?) Also, through several mutual friend events and parties.” Another also mentioned Owens, a professional football safety for the Indianapolis Colts of the NFL, writing, “Her husband is a pro football player, you know, like Taylor’s husband.”
While some questioned their connection, Biles and Swift have shared a supportive relationship for nearly a decade, reports Us Weekly. This began with Swift’s public support for Team USA’s gymnasts during the 2016 Rio Olympics. Biles later showed her appreciation by performing to Swift’s …Ready for It?, at the 2024 Olympic trials.
Swift showed her support for Biles in 2021 when the gymnast returned to the Tokyo Olympics after stepping away from several events due to the “twisties,” a problem that can make it difficult for athletes to control their movements in the air. Despite the challenges, Biles secured a bronze medal in the balance beam final at the Tokyo Olympics, reports People.
